Punchestown day 3 full race card and tips - list of runners and entries on Thursday

Paul Townend leads Rachael Blackmore by six wins in the race to be crowned champion heading into day three of the Punchestown Festival.

The defending champion partnered Galopin Des Champs to victory in the Irish Mirror Novice Hurdle on Wednesday almost exactly 24 hours after riding Chacun Pour Soi to victory in the William Hill Champion Chase.

Townend has just two mounts on Thursday, while Blackmore has six as she aims to cut into the Corkman's lead.

Eight more races take place today, with the Ladbrokes Champion Stayers Hurdle among them.
